The discussion is about users accidentally tapping the reaction button and liking posts while scrolling on mobile. Paracelsus raised the issue and asked if a slight delay could be added before registering a reaction tap to avoid accidental reactions. DoomDesign agreed this is a problem mentioned by their users as well after installing the reactions plugin. Moin responded that a fix for this issue was implemented previously. The overall consensus seems to be that accidental reactions are a common problem on mobile that would benefit from some kind of confirmation delay or other solution.
Hi, maybe this has been asked already…
… Is it possible to introduce a slight delay on mobile touch to “confirm” a reaction? Maybe this is controlled by the general like feature, I don’t know. The reasoning for this is that many users report “involuntary liking” when they’re just scrolling on mobile.
If there’s an easy way to lower just a tiny bit the sensitivity of the liking/reacting procedure would be nice to hear.
Our users also mentioned this after installing the official reactions plugin.
They often like a post involuntarily by simply scrolling across the posts.
I think this was fixed in Discourse Reactions accidental likes - #11 by j.jaffeux
